(TP53), widely known as the “guardian of the genome,” is one of the most frequently altered genes in human cancer. While its canonical tumor-suppressive ...

For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and proteins are largely neutral: they're neither good nor bad, but just ordinary ...

A major evolutionary theory says most genetic changes don’t really matter, but new evidence suggests that’s not true. Researchers found that helpful mutations happen surprisingly often. The twist is ...

Researchers published a new study, “Ongoing chromothripsis underpins osteosarcoma genome complexity and clonal evolution,” in Cell that they say solves the mystery of what drives the genomic ...

Human aging is not what natural selection failed to prevent. It is what happens when selection simply has nothing left to act ...

Evolution isn’t a single, straightforward process – it works in several distinct ways. From species splitting apart over time ...

If evolution has been a constant ever since the origin of life 4.2 billion years ago, then why do some claim that, for humans ...
